Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

New research has discovered that the molecular machines responsible for copying our DNA have a surprising hidden talent—an ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more copies ...

Every time a cell divides, its DNA is duplicated so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic material as their parent. This means that millions of times a day a biochemical wonder takes place ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

Research from the Stowers Institute provides evidence suggesting that cancer cells might streamline their genomes in order to proliferate more easily. The study, conducted in both human and mouse ...
